notifyDataSetChanged（）不会更新ListView

Question

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            deserializeQuotes();
            quotesAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
    }

My array clearly has been updated, and I can see the change when my app starts, but why doesn't it update in this method? The code enters this method.

Answer 1

this.quotesAdapter = new QuoteAdapter(this, R.layout.mainrow, quotes);      
            quotesAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            listView.setAdapter(quotesAdapter);

Works, but why do I have to create a new adapter? Why can't I use my existing one?
